What kind of jobs/related fields are available outside the army for combat engineers in the private sector? Is it possible to be in the army as a combat engineer while attaining a university degree? Maybe only if your in the reserves. I dont think i can get into RMC, my highschool marks arent as high as i hear you need to get into RMC. I would like to join the army ASAP, but its a risk to take without having any post-secondary education.
